Scottish Attachment In Action (SAIA)

When we understand trauma, we build compassion. When we build compassion, we build resilience. When we build resilience, we break cycles. That’s the heart of Wee Play Days. #TraumaInformedPractice #WeCanBreakTheCycle

Resilience grows in relationships. Wee Play Days helps families and practitioners understand the importance of attachment, stress, and emotional connection. With this knowledge, communities can thrive. #Resilience #StrongerTogether

📷 What helps YOU feel connected in your community? Share a thought below — your voice matters. #CommunityConversation #WeePlayDays

Training that brings people together. Through participatory training, Wee Play Days supports practitioners and families to learn about attachment and trauma in safe, inclusive spaces. #CommunityLearning #ParticipatoryTraining

📷 Did you know? Reflective practice spaces help people understand behaviour, build empathy, and strengthen relationships. Wee Play Days is weaving these spaces into everyday community life. #ReflectivePractice #AttachmentAwareness

What is the Wee BREATHERS model? Wee BREATHERS are attachment-informed, trauma sensitive support sessions that offer time to connect, reflect and learn within a safe and confidential space. Managing our own distress/wellbeing enables us to support the community. #WeePlayDays

📷 Why Wee Play Days? Because every family deserves a space where they feel safe, supported, and heard. This initiative helps communities grow stronger—one relationship at a time. #EarlyYearsScotland #WeeBREATHERS

Introducing Wee Play Days! A new partnership between Dr Bells Family Centre in Leith and SAIA, funded by the Roberton Trust to support nurturing relationships. Together, we’re disrupting the cycle of adversity and trauma through connection, play, and community. #WeePlayDays
